THE COLLECT OF THE
DAY
Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you.
Celebrant Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us.
O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways, and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of your Word, Jesus Christ your Son; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
All are seated. A period of silence follows the readings.
The word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” And Abram said, “You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir.” But the word of the Lord came to him, “This man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir.” He brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” And he believed the Lord; and the Lord reckoned it to him as righteousness. Then he said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess.” But he said, “O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?” He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away. As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a deep and terrifying darkness descended upon him. When the sun had gone down and it was dark, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates.”
Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
All remain seated for the psalm. The refrain is intoned by a cantor, then repeated by the congregation and sung as indicated.
Plainsong, Mode II
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? * the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid? When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, * it was they, my foes and my adversaries, who stumbled and fell. Refrain
Though an army should encamp against me, * yet my heart shall not be afraid; And though war should rise up against me, * yet will I put my trust in him. Refrain
One thing have I asked of the Lord; one thing I seek; * that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; To behold the fair beauty of the Lord * and to seek him in his temple. Refrain
For in the day of trouble he shall keep me safe in his shelter; * he shall hide me in the secrecy of his dwelling and set me high upon a rock. Even now he lifts up my head * above my enemies round about me. Refrain
Therefore I will offer in his dwelling an oblation with sounds of great gladness; * I will sing and make music to the Lord. Hearken to my voice, O Lord, when I call; * have mercy on me and answer me. Refrain
You speak in my heart and say, “Seek my face.” * Your face, Lord, will I seek. Hide not your face from me, * nor turn away your servant in displeasure. Refrain
You have been my helper; cast me not away; * do not forsake me, O God of my salvation. Though my father and my mother forsake me, * the Lord will sustain me. Refrain
Show me your way, O Lord; * lead me on a level path, because of my enemies. Deliver me not into the hand of my adversaries, * for false witnesses have risen up against me, and also those who speak malice. Refrain
What if I had not believed that I should see the goodness of the Lord * in the land of the living!
O tarry and await the Lord’s pleasure; be strong, and he shall comfort your heart; * wait patiently for the Lord. Refrain
THE
SECOND LESSON Philippians 3:17-4:1
Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
SEQUENCE HYMN 148 · Uffingham (see pg 21)
Sung by all, standing.
TRACT Confitemini Domino
Plainsong, Mode VIII
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, for his mercy endures for ever. V. Who can declare the mighty acts of the Lord or show forth his praise? V. Remember me, O Lord, with the favor you have for your people, and visit me with your saving help. V. That I may see the prosperity of your elect and be glad with the gladness of your people, that I may glory with your inheritance.
THE HOLY GOSPEL Luke 13:31-35
Deacon The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” He said to them, “Go and tell that fox for me, ‘Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.’ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
THE SERMON The Reverend Andrew Ancona

THE CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION OF SIN
Deacon Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.
The People kneel or bow. All say Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
The Celebrant says Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

Celebrant The peace of the Lord be always with you. People And also with you.

AT THE OFFERTORY, ANTHEM
Cristôbal de Morales
Parce mihi, Domine, nihil enim sunt dies mei.
Quid est homo, quia magnificas eum? Aut quid apponis erga eum cor tuum?
Let me alone; for my days are vanity. What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?
Visitas eum diluculo et subito probas illum.
Usquequo non parcis mihi, nec dimittis me, ut glutiam salivam meam?
Peccavi, quid faciam tibi, o custos hominum? Quare posuisti me contrarium tibi, et factus sum mihimet issi gravis?
Cur non tolles peccatum meum, et quare non auferes iniquitatem meam? Ecce, nunc in pulvere dormiam, et si mane me quaesieris, non subsistam.
And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING
Eucharistic Prayer A, Book of Common Prayer, page 361 All stand.
The Celebrant continues: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who was tempted in every way as we are, yet did not sin. By his grace we are able to triumph over every evil, and to live no longer for ourselves alone, but for him who died for us and rose again. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name.

POSTLUDE Prelude and Fugue in E Minor
Johann Sebastian Bach
Please refrain from applause at the end of the postlude, to respect the devotional practices of others.
A brief service of prayer with laying on of hands for healing follows this service, at the votive icon.
About today’s Liturgy
For Sundays in Lent, we begin the service with the proper Introit for the day, using either the traditional Gregorian chant or a polyphonic setting of the text. During the seasons of Advent and Lent it is traditional to omit the Gloria in excelsis, and we use either the Kyrie eleison or the
Trisagion in its place. Alleluias, of course, are not part of our Lenten observance. A Tract during Lent, the text of which is drawn from the psalms, replaces the Alleluia, which otherwise accompanies the Gospel procession.
About the music at today’s service
‘No Spanish composer of the sixteenth century was more lauded during his lifetime and for two hundred years after his death than Morales.’
So writes a leading modern expert on the subject - a remarkable claim when one considers the talent and number of Spanish composers in the High Renaissance, not least Victoria. For someone as culturally Spanish as Morales, writing music meant more than just borrowing from the prevailing FrancoFlemish or Italian styles. Morales, like Victoria, never lost that mystical intensity of expression which found its roots in Spanish Catholicism.
Cristóbal de Morales (c.1500-1553) spent the beginning and end of his career in Spain, with a crucial ten years in the middle singing with the Sistine Chapel Choir in Rome. He was appointed to the Papal Choir on 1 September 1535 by
Pope Paul III, the same day that the Pope commissioned Michelangelo to paint The Last Judgment.
Morales was sufficiently proud of his origins, especially of Seville where he was born, to follow his own muse. Although his Missa Si bona suscepimus was almost certainly written in Rome and shows something of the consummate smoothness of the international polyphonic idiom Rome hosted during the papacy of Paul III (1534-1549), it is not an Italianate work.
A sign of the seriousness with which Morales approached the composition of his six-voice Missa Si bona suscepimus is the way it is introduced in the source - the Missarum Liber Primus, published in Rome in 1544 under his direct supervision. Before the first stave of music is a woodcut of the Prophet Job naked, with the
About the music at today’s service, cont.
motto spread around him ‘The Lord has given, the Lord has taken away’. This is a quotation from Job (1:21) which Verdelot included in his motet Si bona suscepimus, which Morales in turn very deliberately chose as his parody model. Verdelot’s text continues from Job in this despairing state of mind, including the remark (Job 2:10): ‘If we have received blessings from the hand of the Lord, why then should we not endure misfortune?’
Parce mihi is the first lesson in Morales’s Officium defunctorum, the Office of the Dead.
Today’s postlude is one of the Eight Little Preludes and Fugues, a set of concise organ pieces traditionally attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750). More recent scholarship suggests that they might have been composed by a Bach pupil, very likely Johann Tobias Krebs (1690–1762), or his son, Johann Ludwig Krebs (1713–1780). The uncertainty of the origin of these works notwithstanding, these well-known eight Preludes and Fugues have figured largely in the instruction of generations of organists and are very suitable as voluntaries in liturgical settings. BWV 555 in E minor begins in a rather introspective mood. The fugue subject skillfully employs chromaticism.

Lenten Resources
Lenten Calendars for Adults and Children
Confessions Heard for Lent
One powerful way to enter more deeply into this season of repentance and renewal is through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, commonly known as Confession. Through this sacrament, we are called to examine our relationship with God anew as we seek to draw closer to Christ. The clergy team is available to hear your confession in person. Please contact any member of the clergy team directly to schedule your confession.
Candle Memorials
In addition to flower memorials at the votive icon and for the altar flowers, we now offer candle memorials for the candle by the Blessed Sacrament. Weekly candle memorials can be requested year round and there is no suggested fee. Please contact Karyna in the Parish Office to schedule (kmartin@stlukeinthefields.org).
Calendars are available at the back of the church and online for the Lenten season. This year’s calendars are provided by The United Thank Offering and Episcopal Migration Ministries. Coloring pages are also available at the back of the church.
The Disciple’s Way: Daily Reflections for Lent
Copies of The Disciple’s Way are available this Lenten season. Please see Fr. Ancona or contact the Parish Office. This book of daily meditations guides the reader through the seven steps of discipleship: turn, follow, learn, pray, serve, worship and share.
